ABOUT US

More than just a name, Bluetowne is a state of mind. It is the sense of calm that comes from knowing your business is operating at optimal performance and poised for future growth, because you have a strategic IT partner on board whose sole focus is to makes sure of it.

Since its inception Bluetowne has enjoyed year-over-year growth and success—while remaining a humble, customer-focused company. We maintain daily focus on our core values: honesty, integrity and fairness, and our team lives by and for our customers’ success.

Because IT is a strategic business investment that demands significant engineering expertise, we place a strong emphasis on hiring only the best and brightest talent. We invest heavily in our greatest asset—our people—because your business requires (and deserves) a team of experts with a rich knowledge of your business goals to help you achieve success. Through a partnership with our clients, Bluetowne has been instrumental in the realization of business goals that include increasing Return on Investment and reducing Total Cost of Ownership, while increasing efficiency, reliability, and security.

What matters most is that technology is providing your business with a competitive edge, and a clear path forward. Through thorough analysis of each customer’s unique needs, and access to best-in-industry technologies, Bluetowne is able to deliver the right solution for every business objective—with a highly successful track record and the satisfied customers to prove it.

How We Work

Bluetowne is nimble and team oriented, which affords us to do things differently, and (we think) better than the competition. We place a strong emphasis on team exchanges and input at every level, collaborating on strategic direction, decisions, and project design in an engaging, creative, and “think outside the box” kind of way. The end result is the ability for our clients to move forward with stability and confidence, knowing that the “final decision” has been challenged and confirmed as a result of our collaborative process.

WHO WE WORK FOR

Bluetowne delivers custom, flexible IT services designed to help companies of all sizes across many verticals achieve greater business outcomes. We work with a range of small businesses all the way up to enterprise accounts, and offer scalable services and solutions tailored to meet YOUR needs. We have a keen understanding of the specific issues that each industry is concerned with on a daily basis, and draw on our deep experience and knowledge to deliver worry-free IT solutions to help you meet your most mission critical needs.

THE BLUETOWNE DIFFERENCE

We aren’t the only show in town. There are other IT service providers you could choose to partner with, and we respect that you have choices. It is this same fact that motivates us to be the absolute very best at what we do. But to be the best we can’t just help you achieve your IT objectives with best-in-class technologies. Every IT provider makes those promises. To be the best we have to be different in some way. And we are. Then we have to back up our claims by putting our money where our mouth is. And we do. Finally, a customer-focused partner that’s on your side.
